Picking the Right Makeup Case
Writing by forestthornbarg on Wednesday, 10 of March , 2010 at 7:58 pm
Does your current makeup storage unit look as though it has been ransacked, costing you several minutes of your time just to find that perfect shade of eye shadow you love? Maybe it’s time you considered investing in a different method of keeping your makeup organized. Something like a…cosmetic case?
A cosmetic case might bring to mind a simple cloth or plastic bag with a zipper. Pull yourself out of the 7th grade and pay attention to modern developments! A state of the art cosmetic bag comes in two basic types: hard and soft. We’re going to talk about the most popular materials used for each type, as well as the advantages of both.
When you browse around online, you might notice that the search “cosmetic cases” brings up quite a lot of aluminum cases. Why? That’s easy! Aluminum provides a very strong barrier between the elements and your costly makeup collection, and most come with the optional lock, as well. The sturdy frame also allows for more goodies to be stashed inside, such as collapsible trays that stretch out to show off several tiers of storage space for your things, as well as removable dividers for the body of the case. You might be a little put-off about the idea of a silver case, or you may not. Some people see silver as sleek and professional; others see it as cold. No fear–whatever side of the fence you stand on, there are color options available on most online stores, including: black, red, green, pink, brown, and purple. Silver and black do tend to be the best sellers, but clearly you aren’t restricted to those two colors.
If a heavy duty aluminum case sounds a bit “more” than what you’re looking for, perhaps you should consider a soft cosmetic case. Soft cases have the added advantage of being lightweight and pocketed. If you desire more of a casual look, definitely consider a soft case; some are designed to look like a gym bag while others have a close resemblance to a fashionable handbag. Do you dig the idea of those cool multi-tiered expandable trays we mentioned when we talked about the hard cases? Don’t worry, some soft makeup cases have those, too! Some models even have zipper segments near the bottom of the bag that hide sectioned trays, which are great for hair accessories, nail supplies, and other small items that can get lost easily!
No matter which type of case you decide to buy, don’t be afraid to browse around the ‘net to make sure that you get a case you will be happy with. Be warned that they can be a little pricy, but you definitely get your money’s worth when you consider the advantages of organization, resilience, and handiness that a makeup case can provide for you.
